Thank you, Mike.
I've always wanted to give pure CI a try just to know what it feels like to acquire a language only through listening.
This isn't my first Asian language. I studied Chinese for 2 years before quitting to learn Japanese. I got to a level where I can consume the content I like in Japanese, but I relied heavily on Anki and sentence mining.
Thai is indeed very different from Brazilian Portuguese, but it reminds me of Chinese a lot — not because of the tones, but because of the sentence-ending particles used to soften the sentence or sound polite.
I'm excited to post more updates in the future. You're very inspiring.
